Where do you have the package kdat from? It seems you are running Debian
Sarge, but try to install kdat from a newer version of Debian (at least
lenny aka testing as only that contains KDE 3.5.7) which needs newer
versions of some packages than you have. I
suggest removing that package
completely with aptitude purge kdat, before trying to install the correct
version of the package for Debian Sarge[1]. After removing it, you should
be able to safely install the X server and KDE core stuff by using
aptitude install xserver-xorg kde-core[1].
The kdat package is available for Sarge[2]. Thus on a Debian Sarge a
aptitude install kdat should be able to install it.
Could you please post the output
- cat /etc/debian_version
- cat /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-cache policy kdat
If you have sarge or oldstable as Debian release in your sources
list, /etc/debian_version shows 3.1 and apt-cache policy shows 4:3.3.2-1
as installable package version, you should be able to install kdat safely
on your system by simply using aptitude install kdat, *after* you have
removed that newer version you tried to install above[1].
In order to enjoy a
newer version of kdat and KDE consider upgrading to
Debian Etch.
[1] if aptitude wants to remove some packages cause it thinks they are
unused and you think they are not be careful, if in doubt better use
apt-get then, if interested I can provide a detailed explaination about
that, that explaination should be available somewhere on the Debian
pages, maybe in the wiki, as well
